L 0 N D 0 11,1, TUESDAY, FEhayARY IEOB. - AN attentive consideration of the State " Papers presented yesterday to both Houses of Parliament; respeCting our late intercourse, with Russia, must convince every impartial mind that His Majesty's Ministers have made every possible effort, consistent with the national honour, to continue upon amicable terms with that Country. It ,is evident that the Emperor ALEXANDER. has been seduced by the arts, or intimidated by the threats, of "France, to throw himself wholly into the arms of that Country. Indeed it may be concluded that both ar tifice and intimidation have `operated on this occa sion. The chief *a of our Court was to disco. ver the Secret Articles of the Treaty of Tilsit, for_ it. was impossible for the British Cabinet to recognize the Emperor of RUSSIA as a' Mediator, till it , was demonstrable that he could ad impartially in that charaCler, for in proportion to his bias in favour of our Enemy, whether that bias . was the resultof po licy or fear, or both, in that proportion must . the Emperor have been virtually considered as our Enemy himself. This may be pronounced a fundamental axiom in all transaCtions between one State and another, and in the present condition of Europe, when our Enemy possesses such enormous power and influence, it was more than ever. to be insisted upon. .It appears that Russia had positively deter, mined not to disclose the Secret Articles of the Treaty of Tilsit, and would assign no reason fpr withholding the communication but its own ex. pressed will. The inference is ,obvious—that the Articles were adverse to this Country, and the re serve alone disqualified 'the - Emperor from 'being permitted to assume the pharaoler of Mediator. But though the British Government had so much reason for distrusting the intentions of Russia, yet in all the instruCtions which were tent to our Minister in that,Country, he was desired to treat the Emperor with the utmost respect, 'to avoid all retrospect, re proach and recrimination, and to endeavour, by every possible means, to renew our former amicable Ounce tions, At length, when it was found that Great Britain was neithei to be intiMidated nor ensnared out of its just views and .expettations, that it would not he satisfied without knowing the Secret Articles ill question, and the terms Which France wciuld ad mit, as the basis of negotiation, and when, also, which perhaps was still .more operative, the French Minister at Ittissia began vehemently to re . - tent the prolongation of intercourse between the Itus Sian and the British Governments; the Emperor :WI% Atsoatiat once put an end th, that intercourse„ used the most disrespectful laugnage towards us, and, to cover his own lamentable subserviency to France, pre tended to at upon the ground i)f resentment towards . Great Britain for its cendud tc, Denmark ; • though; as it had been truly observed in the course of the official Correspondence, the Danish Expedition was in a great degree the result of the reserve of Russia, upon points on which our honour and interests imperiously demanded the most open 'and explicit communication. Such, we will venture to say, is an impartial otitline of the case, as presented by the Official Papers which we present to our Readers this day, and we confidently appeal to their good , sense and patriotism for a due conviction of the justness of our observations. Yesterday evening a Cabinet Council was held in DoWning-street, at which all the Cabinet Ministers in town attended. , • Circular orders were' issued,. and sent off last night from the Admmilty to all our Naval Com manders upon the Honig and foreign stations, c9ll. Whitt certain regulation 4, the objeet. of which is to prevent as Much as qfossilile all depredation on our commerce. The Fledt of Transports, with .

The military force will be increased by a Regiment of Light Dragoons, and . . three Corn 'panics of Artillery; the whole under the command of. Oeneral 1-41.4v05T. The Officer who commands the Naval part has not been mentioned. It is sup posed to be destined for some Secret Enterprize in the first instance. Colonel HouGWroN, of the Bth, is appointed a Brigadier•Genetal on the occasion. A quantity of Sonish- Specie, gold and silver, valued, we are informed, .ak. about 30001. of our currency, together with a variety of precious trinkets, saved from the wreck of .the Hercuier IVlerchant:- man, from .Rio.tte.; /atteiroilo: Lisbon, lately dashed. to pieces At 13411inskelligs, in the county of Kerry, were, on Tuesday $0'1111%147 conveyed to Tralee, under an escort of the Royal Longford Militia, and lodged at the Custom: House of Tralee. rt.VMOUTIT, JAN. 31.—The Bremen _Ship Cano pus; which was put on shore yesterday under the was, in - the.course of the night, driven from the ridge of rocks on which she first struck, and forced into a small Bay, about half a cable's,length distance, where she remains, the sea at high water making a fair breach over her ;" every exertion has been used in the course of this day to preserve as much of the cargo as was possible, but hitherto very:, little has been saved, "and • that greatly damaged. The cause of her going on shore cannot yet be ac counted for; but it is allowed by all those who wit nessed the transaction, that it was of all things they had seen the, most cx-traorclinary. The Vessel weighed from between the Island and Main, with the wind at by W. ,with an intention, it is said, of going into the Harbour of Catwater, 'which is situated dire&ly East from where the CanOpUS was at anchor, consequently, if such was the intention, she had to go pearltright before the Wind ; but . after being Under. sail about ten minutes, she tacked and stood with her bead to the Northward, and dire& for the shore, and continued to sail in that direaion without an attempt to alter' her course, until she went stem-on upon the rocks.—Atobservecl in my last, an anchor was thrown overboard, at about a cable's length from the shore, which, from the end of the cable to which it was bent not being fastened to the windlass, or clenched round the mainmast, gni!ng through the hawse holes, became of no effect,' She was .a very fine Ship, burthen 265 tons, nearly new ; . her cargo, consisting of sugar, coffee, indigo, and tobacco, is said to be worth 50,0001. and scarcely any part thereof is likely to be saved. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 1.--Sailed this day the Pon lnahon Brig, Capt. CLIAMBEAS, to join the Channel Fleet ; Sharpshooter Gun-brig, Lieut. Gotnic, and Eclipse Brig,` Capt. Dotro.t.As, on a cruize. A number of Ships are under sailing orders at this yort, and will proceed to join the Channel Fleet immediately the wind is fair, among which are the Brunswick, of 74 guns, Capt. GIiAVES, Lconiclas, Capt. DUNBAit, Und4U7l/Cd, Capi , MALING, Frigates; Baracoutu, Caot. thaws, and Albicore, Captain BURN, Sloops of Wary" L Hercule, of 74 gunv, the Hon. Capt. CoLvILLE, will sail to•tnorrow, should the wind be fair, to join the Fleet off Lisbon. A Court of Inquiry was this day held on board the Gladiator, of 44 buns, at this Port, on Capt. WOODRIEF, for the loss of His Majesty's late Slip the Calcutta, when the said Capt. Woonitur was most honourably acquitted. DEAL, FELS. I.—Arrived the Centurion from Chatham, bound to Halifax. Sailed the . Muline, Pandora and Oberon Sloops, Minx, Flamer, Intelligent, and Bloodhound Gun• brigs on a cruize. the borsetshire East Indiaman came down this day. SkIWNFSS, JAN. 31.-The Orion, of 74 .guns, Capt. Sir A. DICKSON, was paid up to Six months. Came down from the River, and anchored at the Nore, La Loire Frigate, of 36 guns. Fan.. t.--Came down froM the River, with im pressed men..and volunteers for the'Fleet., the Dep:- fird Tender, Lieut. A \TIIA'M. A Vessel arrived, yesterday, from a French port, which she left on the tRh ult. and from which she contrived to make her escape, notwithstanding the embargo.-By 'this conveyance several • letters have been received ; but it is rather remarkable, that no thing can be collected from any of them, to shew whether the embargo in the French ports be a mere temporary measure, to prevent any communication being made as to the sailing of the Rochefort and the other Squadrons, which 'are said to have come out, or an arrangement intended to be permanent, in consequence of any imperial Degree. -The 'uncer tainty upon this subject seems to create a good deal of uneasiness among mercantile men, and particu larly those concerned in the licensed-trade. Sir Wm. RULE and Mr. Nitta, the Surveyors of the Navy, have returned to 'own, froth their inspec tjon of the Danish ships brought froth Copenhagen. They are said to have reported that all the ships are tound tube fit for service. They are, inconsequence, to be prepared without delay for commission. • , CALCUTTA, JUNE 2e, 1807.--The tempestuous weather in the Bay has done much damage to' the outward-bound Shipping, and must cause much loss and disappointment to those concerned. There has been an interval of a . few 'days fair arid calm weather, during the last week, but. the rain has begun to fall heavy since Sunday. , This, though not altogether advantageous for Indigo; will bring forward the. crops of Upland Rice, and of Sun (Hemp) in the ,districts of Jessore, Kiskenagur, Burdwan, and the 24 Pergurnahi : we notice alsO the appearance Of a great abundance of Grass, and in general the vege tation is very exuberant, which prognosticates an abundant Autumn. The Count Da \TM/3C has invented a machine which will shew the Latitude and• Longitude at Sea, serving also for weighing any objet, for measuring space, or the course of a Ship, and time; stewing and keeping account upon dials, and upon cosmo. 'graphical columns, which are part of the machine ; sad chewing also the leeway of a Ship. Part of the machine is applicable to other purposes. FOURTH DAY. TliE Court assernbled this morning at ten o'cicck, and, after reading the Evidence given the preceding day by Major• General GOWER, his examination con tinned. The Court was crowded, and nothing ma terial occurred when our report canto away.

Sho was detaiped f° r several days—when her mother coming to a know* ledge of the place otber con fi nement, sent propo sal ! on Monday to the party, stating that she would settle matters, and that if they would bring the girl, they should have a good dinner. In the mean time she procured a few dragoons : the party and the girl came; according to agreement, whet) the proposed bridegroom was recognized, 35d th e dragoons came forward to take him; ' 111• fortnuate man being armed, however, and hali. ing more courage. than prudence, fired at the Wl' diers, determined to fight his way ; but. in the C On• test a ball entered his groin, which was a fterwards extraeed at hiA back and lie now Lei in custody 4t3 this city, under °medical treatment, with little,ho ot recovery.
